I really liked this cover for Thunder Castle. Never even heard of the game but this is the type of fantasy art I crave. Gameplay doesnt look too bad either!

Mattel really did have great box art. Shit controllers, but great cover art and decent graphics for the time. I remember when my buddy got the voice module and B17 Bomber. When that thing talked, it was like magic.

Ancient games - Atari and Intellivision - had amazing cover art because the graphics were blocks lol. It's interesting as the 80s progresses and game fidelity started getting better that box art (LOOKING AT YOU MEGAMAN SHIT-SQUAT COVER DUDE) often got worse somehow....

I love the art from Super Breakout - that astronaut's expression is like "fuck more space blocks, I need a break from this shit!"
